Saw this on Facebook. Enjoyed it so thought I’d share.

“This is hunting.
It will break your heart.
You will go days without getting so much as a shot at an animal.
You will miss.
You will see garbage in the bush, and have to pick it up.
You will wound something one day, and it will make you cry.

This is hunting.
It will teach you life lessons.
You will learn that one more minute can make all the difference.
You will learn that life doesn't care...the weather warms up anyways, the wind changes direction, and all you can do is work with it.
You will learn patience and determination.

This is hunting.
It will inspire you.
You will see a mother and her baby, and your heart will swell.
You will be humbled by that bull elk screaming at you, less than 10 yards away.
You will see the beauty of dawn.
You will learn the feeling of being prey.
You will see things so beautiful, others seem dull in comparison.
You will speak to another species.

This is hunting.
It will make you vulnerable.
You might cry over the animals you shoot.
You might make mistakes and fret over the what ifs.
You will face your own worst enemy in the bush: yourself.
You will have to walk through the dark, basically blind deaf and dumb.
You will learn the bittersweet feeling of letting an animal live, or choosing to kill one.
You will learn the important balance of life and death.

This is hunting.
You will become... you.
You will learn passion.
Grit.
Strength.
Emotion.
Independence.
Determination.
Empathy.
Silence.
Peace.

This is hunting.
It is where you will learn your most valuable lessons.
It is where you will make your best memories.
It is where you will cry, laugh, and love.
It is where you learn to be still and be quiet.
It is what you will devote your life to, and never regret it.
It is important”

Awesome! Way to go!

 

Any updates?

 

Wow, tried to catch up but...
Old, I was really rooting foryou.
Well done ma'am.
Gonna take me a 12 pack of brews to get through all I've missed and I can't do that anymore.
I will add though, there are some diehard sunsbitches here that I admire for their grit.
I could not cope with what they go through.

 

Just don't kill it with your new truck!

 

They forgot the most important one:

Humility.

 

Here she is guys. She was a lone doe, after making sure she wasn’t being followed, I definitely was gonna take her.
She was gonna cross the creek next me and gave me a 20 yard shot. I hit high and she dropped, spined.
A bunch of little twigs were deflecting my follow up shots, 3 of them, smacking the rocks. It was embarrassing.
The last arrow hit its mark.
I haven’t checked them yet but I assume I have 4 destroyed broadheads.
I’m ecstatic though to at least have a doe for the freezer!

 

You always shoot some big does, was this up north? Congrats again!

 

Thanks C.
No, way south. shooting big does makes me happy
You know, I dragged her to the truck. Went back to get my stuff and by the time I got back I already had 2 coyotes circling. I had to hang her for the night, I hope my knots hold up

 

Exactly, she didn’t get the official pin cushion treatment. But there were nocturnals lit up everywhere

 

I didn't realize you had traveled down south, knew you have areas both ends of the state so thought maybe you were hunting up north.

Maybe you can get the big 6 put down this year

 

OND, late congrats on the buck, you rock!
